how to read long shell output

Hi,

Say I'm executing a shell command with long output and want to read
the results. Just running the cmd will only show the last lines of
output. The question is how to make VIM present it in a scrollable
window (w/o writing to explicit file...)?- Alternately, how to direct
the output to quickfix or location list?

Ex:
! cd %:h && nm `find .. -name *.so ` <cr>

output all the symbols in the shared object artifacts.

Note, I read :h quickfix, didn't find the answer there.

TIA,
Yosi
